Letdown vs. Period!

[@llli*jklinsky]

My period came back yesterday after being gone for a year, (pregnancy & BF for 4 months now) and since yesterday have felt a dip in milk supply and what I'm more concerned with is the way my milk won't let down very easily. I have to completely let loose every muscle in my body, sidelying helps a little with this, even to get a good release. I think Baby noticed yesterday too, i usually have an easy and very forcefull reflex which shes grown used to. Ive been so irritable, i have 2 older boys that been driving me nuts which makes matters worse!

Often a supply dip means that letdown is slower and less forceful. Tension and irritability probably slow things down even more. But as long as you nurse on demand, this will all be temporary.

Oh good I was hoping the let down problem was just a result of the drop in supply, and I'm glad to hear it's just temporary. Ha! Letting down as we speak!! Thank you
